Christmas Eve jammies 

As I was putting Ryleigh to bed she asked why she always gets jammies on Christmas Eve.  I said I guess next year we don't have to get anything on Christmas Eve.  She didn't like that idea.

Santa brought head lamps for camping in our stockings.

Bailey was so cute opening presents.  After every present, she thanked the person for it even if they weren't there.  Then gave big hugs to those of us who were there.

He opened all of them but one before he needed a nap

This girl was so excited for Christmas.  She was the first one up at 6:45 and was very impatient waiting for the others to wake up.

This was the first Christmas Bailey actually cared about.  Last year she was sick with a double ear infection and the year before she was too young to understand.  

So Fun!

Bentley loves his Jumperoo!

Ryleigh loves to make him laugh and she does it very easily.

Christmas Outfits

Naughty or Nice

Bailey got an email from Santa saying she wasn't quite on the nice list yet.  She wasn't too upset as she started making her own nice list.  Later in the day Devin reminded her she wasn't on it and she said, "I'm making the list!"

Here she is, still making her list.

6 Months!

 He is such a happy boy!  

He rolls himself all over the floor and often finds himself stuck under or in between something.

Yesterday he was playing on the floor and got himself a present and had it partially unwrapped before anyone noticed.

Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Thanksgiving weekend we took Grandma and Grandpa Larsen and Uncle Daren to see the lights at Indian Creek.

The next weekend we went to our usual tree lot to pick the perfect tree.  We came home and put the lights on and then waited until the next morning to decorate it. 

Bailey was protecting the snowflake the whole time so she could be the one to put it on this year.
